According to December 1993 QST, page 110, the following prefixes which
formerly belonged to Russia but are now in the Ukraine block will change to:
UN becomes RN
UV becomes RX
UW becomes RU
UZ becomes RK
We have already seen PacketCluster spots for RU0LL (ex-UW0LL) and RK1OWZ
(ex-UZ1OWZ). So, Willy, I suspect your new callsign will be RU9AR.

>to tell me and I forgot to ask...
According to the same QST list:
UD (Azerbaijan) becomes 4J,4K
UG (Armenia) becomes EK.
Now, a number of stations in Azerbaijan were using the 4K prefix in the CQWW
CW contest. Furthermore, Armenians have been using the 4J prefix (i.e.
4J4GAT). I guess we have to wait and see how this all works out.

I appreciate getting the lastest CIS callsigns from Willy, UW9AR, and
Jim, AD1C. However, I find it curious that hams have to guess what the
international callsign assignments are. (Not just CIS but ex-Yugoslavia
countries and others). I would think that any changes to assignments
would be very explicitly spelled out by the ITU and published. There
should be no quesswork involved.
Can someone explain this?

Subject: CIS prefixes for CT (K1EA)
Message-ID: <9401042038.AA07973@us1rmc.bb.dec.com>
Here is my first cut at the new prefixes for CIS. The number in parenthesis
after some of the prefixes is the CQ zone. Some things I'm not sure of:
1. What is new prefix for Malyj Vysotskij I., since 4J is supposed to be
assigned to either Armenia (ex-UG) or Azerbaijan (ex-UD)? I have put
4J in prefix list for Armenia, since that seems to be the prefix that
those people are using.
2. What about 4K - does this prefix belong to Russian Arctic and Antarctic
islands (hey, maybe MV Island will get a 4K prefix), or to Azerbaijan?
Azerbaijanis were using the 4K prefix in the CQWW CW contest last November.
Willy, UW9AR says 4K is Russia, which seems more logical to me.
Please send me comments and corrections - I hope to get a new release of the
CTY files out before the next contest (CQWW 160?). I specially welcome
reports of "I heard a new prefix being used, and you got it right" (I have
already heard most of the new Ukraine prefixes) or "I heard a new prefix and
couldn't figure out where it was - what's your best guess?"
Thanks - Jim AD1C

Subject: Save those .CTY files!
Message-ID: <9401042056.AA08950@us1rmc.bb.dec.com>
.CTY files for CT were never guaranteed to be backward compatible. In other
words, you can not necessarily use a new .CTY file with an older CT log.
Prefixes change all the time. For example, CT2 used to be the Azores, but
now it's Portugal. This is especially true of the recent Russian prefix
upheaval.
When you put your .BIN file away for storage after you've sent in your log,
it's a good idea to include the appropriate .CTY file as well. That way if
you need to go back and look at an old log, you will have something matching
the score you sent in.
I use PKZIP to make an archive which includes both the .BIN file and the
appropriate .CTY file - I give the .ZIP file the same name as the original
.BIN file. This also compresses the log, which means you can fit more logs
on a single floppy (the way I store old logs).
You can FTP pkzip from:
oak.oakland.edu:/pub/msdos/archiver/pkz204g.exe
Remember, you can only ever have one original. Don't lose it!
